INTRODUCTION
Mahirap umpisahan at tapusin
Do not copy paste-it is your own statement
The purpose of your introduction is to trigger your reader to read your
research until end.
The introduction is the broad beginning of the paper that answers three important
questions for the reader:
What is this?
Why am I reading it?
What do you want me to think about / consider doing / react to?
TWO VARIABLES:
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE AND DEPENDENT VARIABLE
Writing a statement of the problem should help you clearly identify the
purpose of the research project you will propose. Often, the statement of
the problem will also serve as the basis for the introductory section of
your final proposal, directing your reader’s attention quickly to the issues
that your proposed project will address and providing the reader with a
concise statement of the proposed project itself.
Types of Validity:
a. Content Validity: the content of your questions ay dapat tama ayon sa mga
audience mo.
b. Con Current: Nag agree ba siya sa standard or set up
c. Predictive Validity: yong responses ng respondent at predictive-like nuero exam
yan ay predictive.
d. Construct Validity: Questionnaire ay parang kahalintulad ng isang theory, or
yong sagot mo ay naka base sa theory.
2. RELIABILITY:
Q: HOW TO DETERMINE whether your questionnaire is realible?
Ans. Go to mathematician/ statistician to compute your questionnaires.
3. PRACTICABILITY
Q: How to determine practicability?
Ans. The practicability does not need any test nor experts you can assess your
questionnaires whether its practical.
4. JUSTNESS:
How to determine justness?
Ans. The best way to get justness is to make a TABLE OF SPECIFICATION.
@ YOU can approach an educator to make a table of specification for you. ITO
YONG distribution questionnares para hindi ka maging BIAS KUNG ano dapat
ilagay or itanong sa yong questionnaires, gagawa ka ng TOS para makuha na fair
siya, fair yong dapat mong i-measure.
5. MORALITY:
HOW TO DETERMINE MORALITY?
ANS. JUST PUT EMPHASIS IN your questionnaires oR interview that the
respondents identity is treated with confidentiality.
Significance of the study is written as part of the introduction section of a thesis. It provides
details to the reader on how the study will contribute such as what the study will
contribute and who will benefit from it. It also includes an explanation of the work's
importance as well as its potential benefits.
The theoretical framework defines the key concepts in your research, proposes relations
between them, and discusses relevant theories based on a literature review.
A strong theoretical framework gives your research direction, allowing you to convincingly
interpret, explain and generalize from your findings.
II. REVIEW ON RELATED LITERATURES
If chapter l is about introduction, your introducing about the problem na gusto mong
sasagutin.
If chapter 2 is Review of Related Literature….ito naman ang susuporta sa
introduction mo, ito ay connected na reviews na mga literature that support sa introduction
na meron problema.
In Chapter 3 (Methodology or methods), ano ang mga bagay na gagamitin or sino
ang mga interviewhin mo, san ka mag interview, san ka mag survey.
PARTS/CONTENTS OF CHAPTER 3
1. Research Design
2. Research Locale
3. Participants of the Study
4. Instrumentation
5. Data Gathering Procedures
6. Statistical/Data treatment
QUALITATIVE- is more a text, salita, interview, perceptions in isang tao thru interview
(idea ng tao)
QUALITATIVE:
D. PHENOMENOLOGICAL
– it focus on the commonality of a lived experience within a particular group
- Researcher may construct the universal meaning of the event, situation or
experience and arrive at a more propound understanding of the phenomenon.
E. GROUNDED THEORY - sets out to discover or construct theory from data
- Obtained and analysed using comparative analysis (quanti vs quali).
2. Research Locale – this discusses the place or setting of the study, it describes in brief
the place where the study is conducted, only important features which have the
bearing of the present study are included, saan at bakit yan ang napili mong lugar
POTENTIAL PARTICIPANTS:
tourist, visitors, family, friends, employees, managers
4. Sample frame-eg. Tel directory, census list, passenger manifest. Enrollemtn list, hotel
guest list, client data, etc
SAMPLING METHOD:
1. PROBABILITY SAMPLING- It is a sampling techniques wherein from a larger
population are chose to represent the whole population then…ex. The participant is
100 kukuha lamang ng 50 to represent the whole 100%...yon ang tinatawag na
probability sampling.
2. NON-PROBABILITY SAMPLING- Is SAMPLING technique that may or may not
represent the entire populations accuracy. The research could be BIAS, nag research
ka ng meaning ng SIKAT NA ARTISTA, doon na lang din nag research sa mga
sikat.
NEUMAN (2006)
FOR population under 1000, researchers should sample 30% of the
population
For population over 10,000, researchers should sample a minimum of 10% of
the population
For population over 150,000, researchers should sample 1% of the population
SLOVIN’S METHOD
Determine the size of the study/population- this is easily determined from the scope
and limitation of the study
Decide the margin of error-5 percent to 10%
Use the formula (for big population)
N = N
1 + Ne2
n- size of the sample
N- size of the population
e- margin of error
Slovins formula- use to calculated an appropriate sample size from population para malaman
natin ang minimum na number of sample size na kinakailangan out of the
population.
- It is usually imposible to survey every member of a population because of
MONEY, COST, TIME AND EFFORT.
VALIDATION: IT describes what measures you will take to address issues of validity,
realibility and authenticity,
Pre test – practice at dun mo malalaman sa pre test if maiintidihan ban g respondents
and mga questions or kinakailanganbang tagalugin ang mga tanong on what dialect,
baka manghula lang ang mga respondnets .
INSTRUMENTATION
DATA GATHERING/COLLECTION
This part will describe how the researcher will conduct the study from seeking
permission to persons in authority, to retrieving the questionnaires (stories kung papaano mo
nasagot)
1. OBSERVATION- the researcher get close enough to study subjects to observe (with
or without participants) to understand what people say and do or to gain knowledge
about the subjects
DATA ANALYSIS
IDENTIFY AND EXPLAIN the methods applied for analyzing gathered data
Ex.
1. Simple Frequency distribution
2. Mean, Median, mode (likert scale)
3. Cross tabulation
4. Measuring relationship
T Test < 30
Z test > 30
Anova
Statistical Analysis
Pearson Rho (correlation coefficient)
Spearman Rho (Rank correlation coefficient)
SAMPLING TECHNIQUES
1. SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING (lottery method, Number method)
2. SYSTEMATIC SAMPLING (FILE METHOD) every 5 th name in the list ikaw ang
nabunot.
3. CLUSTERED SAMPLING-POPULATION is clustered in groups
4. CONVENIENCE SAMPLING-grab sampling
5. PURPOSIVE SAMPLE- JUDGEMENTAL sampling
6. SNOWBALL SAMPLING- KNOWN as referral sampling, from 1 to 2 to many
(nanganganak)
7. EXPERT SAMPLING
8. QUOTA SAMPLING- the researcher calculates a set numbers of participants for
inclusion based on some predetermined variables (gender, age, etc)
Ex. Sa 100 participants, sino ang bubuo ng 10 na lalaki, babae, bata at matanda.
QUALITATIVE STUDY
o QUANTITY of responses is not an issue but how long you will collect data from the
participants?
o Data should be collected until a QUALITATIVE ISOMORP (two or more entities
come to similar structures)
WHEN redundancy with respect to information occurs; until new insights are gained,
only confirmation of previous theories. Ex. From 1 to 6 out of 10, almost 6
participants collected same answers, with that considered na yong 7 to 10 .
The researcher will decide if the answer of the participants is enough because almost
of the answer is PAREHO PAREHO NA.
1. STATISTICAL PROCEDURE
TYPES OF STATISTICS
a) DESCRIPTIVE – describes the properties of sample and population data
SCALE OF DATE
It can be classified as being one of four scales
1. Nominal
2. Ordinal
3. Interval or
4. Ratio
Note: the TOTAL SIZE of the sample is always LESS than the TOAL SIZE of the
population.
SAMPLE SIZE- measures the number of individual samples measured or observations used
in a survey or experiment.
WHAT IS SAMPLING?
ACCORDING TO Baracero (2016) it is a method or process of selecting respondents
or people to answer questions meant to yield data for a research study
Types of Sampling
3) STRATIFIED SAMPLING – method which the total population is divided into small
groups or STRATA to complete the sampling process.
Ex. Population 500, sample size 50, group the population by age then get the sample
by age.
Population = 1000
Confidence level = 95%
Or error = 5% OR 0.05
FORMULA n= N_____
1 + Ne 2
EXAMPLE:
@ @ @
@ @ @
@ @ @
@ @ @
Pattern
Ex. Randomize from 0 to 9
- bumonot ng number 3
3 33
13 43
23 53
40% 60%
4.Cluster
1 3
2@ @ 4
@ @
District 2 to represent 1 2 3 4
1@ 3@
@ @ @
@ @ 2@ @
@
Group 1 get 5
2 get 3
3 get 2
Note: with similarity to stratified, mas may control si researcher, need ni researcher
mapunuan ang quota niya.

SCALES OF MEASUREMENT
- NOMINAL – survey
1 - red > 5 50% Note: this QUALITATIVE FORMS of data
2 – blue > 3 30% cannot be use in calculation however the
3 – green > 2 20% responses of people to the different color can

RATIO – grades
Given: 70 30 56 82 90 For ratio: 90/ 30 = 3
To array : 0 30 56 70 82 90
Add “0” as starting point
SAMPLING TECHNIQUESS
IT is the name or other identification of the specific process by which the entities of the
sample heve been selected.
DATA COLLECTION
STRUCTURED
- Verbally administered questions
- Surface level in depth
- Far faster and more efficient data collection
SEMI STRUCTURED
- allows discussion between the interviewer and interviewee since questions
are open ended, rather than straight forward.
UNSTRUCTURED
- the interviewer has freedon to ask questions that come to mind
- csn be time consuming
-
2. INDIRECT METHOD (Questionnaires)
This commonly use for service studies. A standardize set of questions are prepared
printed and administered to people of interest, questions may range fro…
a) FIXED-ALTERNATIVE-like multiple choice of questions
b) LIKERT SCALE
c) OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS
PROS
- Can be administered to a larger group of people
- Lower cost
- Data collected are actionable and easier to analyze
CONS
- Data maybe unrealiable due to dishonest of uninterested respondents
- Questions might be left unanswered
*** Hind mo bibigyan ng questionnaires instead obserbahan mo lang siya, may ipapagawa
ka sa kanya ex. Jumping rope in one minute, obserbahan mo lang ang kanyang mga galaw
-
4. EXPERIMENTATION- this method conducted to laboratories where specimen are
subjected to some aspects of control to find out cause and effect relationship
5. REGISTRATION METHOD- This method requires enactment of law to take effect
because it needs the participation of a large, if not entire population

FREQUENCY
DESCRIPTIVE TECHNIQUE
- Provides a summary of the orderly or sequential data obtained through the
data gathering instrument used.
- It includes three (3) essential parts
1) Frequency Distribution
2) Measure of Central Tendency
3) Variability
1. FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
MEAN- AVERAGE
N
3. MEASURE OF VARIABILITY
Amount of difference –spread
a) Range – Highest score to lowest score
b) Standard Deviation – extend of the data from the MEAN
c) Variance – how far a set of random numbers are spread out
d) QUARTILES
e) LIKERT SCALE
Example
Step 1
N
Step 2 = 65 = 7(mean)
N 9
In 20 items
Ls = 2 17-2 = 15
Hs = 17
No. of students 10 9 scores 2 to 12
1 score 17 (OUTLIERS)
NOTE: EVEN THOUGH THE MEAN SCORES ARE SAME THERE MIGHT BE SOME
DIFFERENCE WHY? The lower the SD the more homogenous or more unvarying
scores are as to compare to High SD.
- if the SD is small meaning the student scores are really close to MEAN, most of them
performing same, LESS OUTLIERS.

HYPOTHESIS
Hypothesis testing
Isang pamamaraan ng paggamit ng SAMPLE Na data upang magpasya sa pagitan ng
dalawang magkasalungat na PALAGAY (HYPOTHESIS) TUNGKOL sa isang populasyon.
-meron dalawang magkasalungat ng palagay (hypothesis)
-tinetest natin ng isat isa sa kanila para malaman natin kung sino ang tama sa
kanila.
Ex. Do high school students spend a daily average time of 3 hours on mobile legend?
-ipagpalagay natin na sa tanong na ito, ang dalawang pangkat na isinasaalang-
alang ay mga high school students (POPULATION) at ang pangkat ng 30 high school
students (SAMPLE). NOW, maari nating ihambing ang SAMPLE MEAN na nagmula sa
data ng 30 mag aaral, doon sa POPULATION MEAN; na 3 hours sa isang araw.
Ho (NULL HYPOTHESIS)
The daily average time spent by high school student on mobile legend is 3 hours
a day.
Ho : = 3
The daily average time spent high high school student on mobile legends is NOT
EQUAL to 3 hours a day.
HA : ≠ 3
-the average hypothesis, is the hypothesis that has NO statement of equality such as
>,< or ≠.
